How To Find Satisfaction In God

It is possible to be so caught up in doing ¡§Christian things¡¨ that we forget to spend time with Christ.

Martha was like that. She and Mary and their brother Lazarus were having Jesus over for dinner. Martha wanted to go all out for the event. Everything had to be perfect. She had planned a seven course meal and she tried to keep up with every detail, working herself to the point of exhaustion.

Meanshile, her sister Mary sat and the feet of Jesus and listened to Him and talked with Him.

Which one received the commendation of the Lord? Was it Martha and all of her worrisome preparations? No, it was the one who came, not to do a work of service, but to receive the grace of God.

Is there anything in your life that can be described as a supernatural power at work within you, breathing in and out in what you say and do, breaking through old habits and old ways to make you into a different kind of person than you used to be? Is there a dynamic at work in you that can be described that way?

If there is not, then there is an invitation for you. It is that you come and believe the gospel. It is that you ask for the Lord¡¦s salvation. Eat and drink of Christ; entrust yourself to Him.
